Do you speak English

[JCoutureJunkie]

^ Some classmates you've got.

What you mean? I can't understand what you want to say..

He was, in disregard of the rules, pointing out that your classmates are complete imbeciles and thus implying something that I'd rather not spoil for you, but uh, it was pretty offensive.

Hi guys!Just got back from school.Next up:dinner,then push ups,sit ups,crunches...gotta get round to toning those abs at last!
What are you all up to?

[LoupGarrou]

Also holy shit, it doesn't feel natural at all showing off thy impressive vocabulary, does it?

We're doing something like:

"I find your statement inaccurate and completely unjustified. Please elaborate, otherwise you're just showing ignorance."

^ It is like listening to Sheldon from "Theory of the big bang", but the series are for fun. It's quite ridiculous when someone starts talk like this unless it is needed by the situation or the case.

[Luscious_Heart]

I'm up to spending a night with my classmates.
Tomorrow I'll either work out in the Gym saloon, or will play billiard with the guys.
I haven't seen my hawttt neighbour in yonks. Gosh, I've started to miss him, really. Never once is a day good without me seeing him.

[gost89]

I'm not very good at English, but i think you made some mistakes.

Hi, I am join your conversation! You can correct me if I make some mistakes in my publications.

'I am join' is not correct. I think it's better to say something like that ''Hi, I'm going to write in this topic''

We had an exam today. It was about past and present passive and it was horrible I hope I will have (I think here must be without ''a'') good results, but it was a little bit hard.. But I can say, I am the best english student in my class!

I googled it and there was something about an Arabian woman or something.
I fear half of the forum users will be stepping into our thread. I can't wait to see some skank type "Love" with a 'w'.
Today all of us 9th-graders in my English School sat for a placement exam. And I got the highest grade - 94 out of 100.
It's rather a good result, considering the fact that you're taken away poinst once you go back to the previous page.

I believe the last sentence should start like that: It's a rather good result...

It could be: It's quite a good result...

The latter could be reversed, too, but no person will say it that way...

Studying the American Constituition I am procrastinating right now for my humble servant feels the enfeeblement of so many amendments and articles to remember...blah. And some people consider that sacred. What the...

[Luscious_Heart]

^ Well to be honest, I remember that the structure was like "rather a", "a pretty", "quite a", "a fairly". Correct me if I'm mistaking. I don't seem to remember the page number in my Coursebook.

[amk933]

I would say it like that:

It is quite an interesting book.
It is a rather interesting book.
It is a fairly interesting book.
It is a pretty interesting book.

Quite could go the other way as well, but sounds, so to say, awkward.



Anyway, try to avoid these modifiers because they are not the best ones to use...When you talk they are okay, when you write and every adjective is preceeded by such a word, it just sounds shallow.

gost89, thank you for showing me my mistakes. I am sorry about them, but I am not so good in english yet. I am only 7th grade, but I am trying to speak english correctly. Don't judge me, everybody think that I am very good about my age and my experience with the language. There is too much time and I hope I will learn everything about the english language, I was just wanted to try to communicate with you and see my mistakes.

[Luscious_Heart]

Quote from my Coursebook:
It's a very/extremely popular attraction.
It's rather a/a rather/a fairly/a pretty small town.
It's quite an interesting palace.

And NEVER use pretty a, fairly a.
And also, "a quite interesting castle" is struckthrough with a red line.
Maybe it's used in colloquial English.

[amk933]

This is the first time in my life that I see rather before the article...I am going to ask tomorrow, but I have never heard anyone say it like that, nor would I do so...

Is it a Bulgarian textbook?
Edit: For quite is okay to be struck through. No one will say a quite or rather a... I am pretty surprised to see rather...I will write a note to ask. And I will check now because I have a whole section of the library called Oxford with bazillions of dictionaries, grammars and editions...

^ HELL NO!
It's Longman's.

I am not judging you. You said, if somebody saw your mistakes to correct them, and I made that. How long have you been studying English ?

[amk933]

^I did that...

I saw it, but the thing is that aside from some nosy Brits no one else would say rather a...or at least I have never heard it. However, it might be that that there are only Americans around me at school and I am used to the American way...or, if not only Americans, then the rest are also used to the American English...

One more advice from me It's good to answer in the tense in which you have been asked. In this case "I have been studying English for 4 years"

[amk933]

^Answering in the tense of the question is not always correct.

If I ask you: Have you ever been in England?
Would you say: I have been there last year or I went there last year?

It is a common mistake.

[Steff9423]

I'm going to England this summer,and this Autumn I'm going to Canada..

You're lucky! Do you have any relatives there?
In my school there was a school trip to England but there weren't enough people who want to go there.

Well I know two girl from London,but I'm actually going with few students and teachers.In Spain students have this opportunity to visit different countries and make friends.

[TheThinker]

Hello everybody
@Steff Have you been there before?

Yes, like always you are right For that I wrote "good", there where you can answer in the same tense, do it, but when it's not correct, don' do it I want to ask you something, where do I have to put commas in English, we haven't studied that, my teachers say that it's not so important.
